So you can add various hooks to your pidgin or finch without need of writing and compiling own C plugin or messing with buggy perl plugin and restarting client after each change in plugin.
+       - There are already few sample (answer)scripts in purple directory, so you can check how easy it is to write some script for pidgin or finch...
